Aaron came to my home to provide me with a no cost, individualized estimate for a solar system for my home. He provided me with several options and clearly explained how everything would work. Would recommend Rikur Energy to my friends and family

I talked to Rikur about installing Solar on my roof. They were able to take my address and see the roofline on Google Maps right from their office. They provided me a price right away, and handled all of the required paperwork. Kol was super freindly and professional. When the install date was scheduled they were in and out in less than a day and I was generating power to offset my electricity bill that day!!! Wow, who knew it was going to be so fast. The crew was very knowledgeable, efficient and friendly ... no mess, no fuss, and full cleanup afterwards. Kol took the time to explain the system and it has been working great ever since. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants solar.

I recently had a PV solar system installed by Rikur Energy. The process was simple. Rikur took care of all of the details. They made it so easy. The entire experience was effortless. Now I'm the greenest person in the small town I live in. It feels good.

Rikur Energy made our switch to solar EASY. The team gave us options to consider for both the panels and inverters as we searched for the best combination of price, power and efficiency. Our 36 panels went up in less than two days, even though our roof slope is steeper than most. Rikur’s roofing expertise is a real asset for installation. The team handled all the paper work involved with the net metering system offered via BC Hydro, which is a great program that means you don’t need to purchase batteries. Minimal electrical work was required for our project. We didn't need to swap out our existing panel because we had room to add three new breakers -- that's all it took. When the team's electrician had a distracted day and there were a couple of minor glitches, Kol and Aaron were on top of these right away to deliver solutions. Our biggest challenge was the monitoring system, because our panels are located further from our wifi system than is the case with most households, so the inverters had a more difficult time "talking" to our smart phone monitoring app. While it took numerous tweaks to get the monitoring system working optimally with our wifi, Kol and Aaron were dogged in their determination to see it through. We are really appreciative, and absolutely LOVE our new solar system. It now produces all of our electricity. The electricity is clean, carbon free, and inexpensive (especially if you take advantage of the green energy loan made available by Vancity Credit Union if needing financing, like we did). We expect to save thousands and thousands in electrical costs over the life of the panels. Thanks Rikur Energy!
